A-Designs Ventura Preamp!

Manufactured here in the USA, the Ventura is a single channel strip, serving as a single-stage preamp, designed with the examples set by Quad Eight, creators of great custom consoles. It's transformer-coupled with balanced ins and outs. Like other great consoles, it features gain control, a -20 dB pad and a +48 Volt Phantom Power with a red LED indicator light.

The EQ section has the "old console" diversity as well, allowing you to use it individually as well as in parallel with the preamp out, so you can split the signals to feed your recording with flat and EQ'd tracks separately. Also, the DI feature allows the Ventura to serve as a high-quality DI, especially useful for bass and guitar.
